I think it’s funny when people roll their eyes about all the time Sanderson spends on clothes and fashion, as if it’s not an integral part of the world building and character development. I did my undergrad thesis on fashion semiotics in Mistborn (primarily using Roland Barthes) and there’s a direct correlation between how Vin is dressing and where she’s at on the hero’s journey, but in a way that doesn’t feel obvious at first. So it’s interesting to read Yumi and see how Sanderson is utilizing the language of fashion to explore these worlds and characters. The changing room scene with Akane is more than just a cute romcom scene, it’s about the process of discovery. Which is obvious but I can’t help harkening back to Barthes, who co-opts De Saussure’s thoughts on language for the use of fashion.
De Saussure identifies two aspects of language and communication: langue and parole. Langue is the rules of a particular language (subject verb order, for example) and parole is how an individual uses those rules to express themselves. Barthes applies this idea to fashion. We’re given these arbitrary rules of fashion (even as simple as “one must be dressed in public”) and from there we learn to work within the parameters of those rules to outwardly express ourselves. There’s a difference between your favorite pair of jeans and the pair of slacks you wear to work; there’s a difference between the dress you wear to a job interview and the dress you wear on a date where you’re trying to fuck.
The changing room scene is Yumi shotgunning the concepts of langue and parole all at once. She is learning new rules (you can have your shoulders bare) while learning how to express herself within the parameters of those rules (you can wear a dress with bare shoulders and still cover your shoulders with another garment). It’s cute and sweet but also important. She’s learning not just how to express herself but also that she’s allowed to. There’s nothing frivolous about how Sanderson uses and describes fashion. It’s a direct outgrowth of the journeys he sends his characters on.

Me (very powerful immortal dude, but currently a literal living statue, alive and aware but unable to move or interact with the world at all due to a poorly implemented failsafe) and the bad bitch (a fragment of a god, the embodiment of the structure inherent in all creation, for whom I have created a fake body out of magic and vibes that has fuckin AMAZING tits bc she wants to study how humans react to tits while she runs a noodle restaurant and uses my unmoving body as a coatrack) I pulled by being artsy

14 nightmare
Yes, yes, basically what almost everyone is drawing for this… :D
image description:
digitally colored pencil drawing of Painter kneeling on the ground, big brush in had, paper in front of him, while a very stylized, stiffly drawn black, wolfish creature bares his pointy fangs at him. The scene cast in bright turquoise and pink lights, which have a chalky texture to them. A tiny bright pink and bluish flame is the glowing eye of the black nightmare.

I love the trope of supernatural entity who inherently exists outside of gender nevertheless strongly identifies with a binary gender. It just makes my little trans heart so happy. (This post is about Masaka. I love you, Masaka.)

Argent: Staying with Yumi, since we're asking the big questions here. I want to talk about the big machine, the father machine.
Brandon Sanderson: Yes.
Argent: There are some really interesting what feel like intentional parallels between it and Nightblood.
Brandon Sanderson: Yes.
Argent: There's smoke involved, there's eating of souls, there's a whole bunch of things. So what I do want to ask is: one, was the father machine awakened using Breaths, using Nalthian awakening? Or are you using Awakening as Lightweaving or Bondsmithing which is an overarching system in the Cosmere?
Brandon Sanderson: It's the second.
This wouldn't exist in the pre-space-age as much; by space age there's a certain terminology that is going between... basically it's starting with the arcanists and moving to the general population. What certain themes in the Cosmere magics mean. And so when Hoid says "this is an Awakened machine" his audience understands what that means. It does not necessarily mean Breaths awaken, but Breaths are one of the main ways that people see things be Awakened.
You should be noticing those parallels, but that's a term that in the Cosmere is becoming genericized to mean un-living object being given some measure of sentience and even sapience by application of Investiture, Commands, and these sorts of things. By this point they've all interacted with various Awakened machines of sorts in the future Cosmere. They know what this means. They've talked to an Awakened computer.
Argent: Interesting! Very interesting! That's what I was hoping you would answer. Because Awakening is such a cool term for Awakening an object, right!
One notable difference between the father machine and Nightblood other than them using different magic systems to be Awakened is that the Machine was able to somehow draw people's souls at a distance, which seems EXTREMELY broken to me.
Brandon Sanderson: Yeah. I had to let... This is going to be a pretty special circumstance for this book. But yes. It is pretty broken. You wouldn't want this to be... this could be very dangerous in the wrong hands. Don't expect this to be very commonly used in the Cosmere.
Argent: Was that a side effect of the magic system that was used to Awaken the Machine, or was there something else going on?
Brandon Sanderson: This is a side effect of what Virtuosity did and the bit of Virtuosity in all the people allowing the Machine to have enough of a plausible Connection to them to draw upon them.
Argent: Ok. Interesting. I will think about this while I pass the ball back to Matt.
Brandon Sanderson: Yeah. This is me pushing just a little bit hard on the boundaries of what is possible. It is possible, but it it is pushing further than I normally would on the bounds of what that can do.

#yumi and the nightmare painter spoilers#only adolin and maya come close and that's only because they don't HAVE a nahel bond...
